Here is yet another wonderful crockpot meal. Enjoy

Crockpot Ravioli Casserole

                                                                                     

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
salt/pepper
10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed (I used fresh spinach)
16 oz. bowtie pasta, cooked
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded

*Brown ground beef with onion and garlic.  Put in crock-pot and add sauce, tomatoes and seasonings. Cook for 6-7 hours on low.  Add the last 4 ingredients during the last 30 minutes of cooking and turn crock-pot to high.  I added the fresh spinach, pasta, parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and I mixed it all up really well.  Then I added the last 1/2 cup of mozzarella to melt on the top

Lime Chicken Tacos- CROCKPOT MEAL

This meal has turned out to be one of my families favs. They love the flavor of the chicken and they never get tired of it.  I made a few modifications to the original recipe that I found over at chef-n-training, she had you add the frozen corn and salsa later but since I need supper to be ready when I got off work I added everything at once and it seemed to turn out fine :)  This is a must try.

LIME CHICKEN TACOS

(CROCKPOT MEAL)
(found at chef-n-training.blogspot.com)

·         1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

·         3 Tbsp lime juice

·         1 Tbsp chili powder

·         1 cup frozen corn

·         1 cup chunky salsa

·         12  flour tortillas (6 inches), I like to add a little butter to a pan and slightly toast them on each side.. Yummy

·         sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and shredded lettuce, optional

Place the chicken in a slow cooker.  Combine all ingredients above except flour tortillas ( of course :) ); pour over chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken is done and tender.

No need to remove chicken, take two forks and shred the chicken right in the crockpot.  Serve in tortillas with sour cream, cheese and lettuce if desired.

- Enjoy

Beef Stroganoff- CROCKPOT MEAL

If you can't tell I am all about my Crockpot, I love it. I just recently purchased one that has 4 different settings (4 hrs/6hrs/8hrs/10hrs). I found mine at Target and it was only like 35.00. My husband and I are away from our house for about 13 hours a day and in my old crockpot I would burn everything. I'm glad to say I havn't runied a dinner yet in the new one!! I love coming home and supper is already cooked, it's GREAT o and the house smells wonderful toooo !!

So Here's what's cooking for Dinner tonight.

Beef Stroganoff-

(found at thecrockstar.blogspot.com)

2 pounds cubed stew meat
2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 small onion diced
4 tabls of Worcestershire

1/2 cup of water
8 oz of cream cheese

couple of dashes of Garlic Salt 

In the slow cooker stir in all the ingredients, except the Meat AND the Cream Cheese. Once combined add the meat and mix together.

Cook on Low for 8 hours. Cut up the cream cheese into cubes just before serving and turn crockpot on high. Stir the cream cheese in until all combined. You might have to put the lid back on and leave for 10 minutes.

Serve over egg noodles.

Hope you enjoy
